Pendulum Theory of Human Behavior

I had been contemplating about this for a long time. According to me, there always is a tendency of equal two-way oscillation of human behavior.

A person depending on maybe the extent of rajas guna in him/her, can swing either way in generating good or bad karma in his/her life. for example, a person who is very docile / sattvic ( stithapragnatha ) does not generate too much of either good or bad karma.

However, someone who has a lot of rajoguna ( activeness ) in life, may generate a lot of positive or negative karma, or both at different points in their life, due to their virility.

Now the point that I am trying to make is simple. A person who is very supposed to be very good/constructive in society can also turn equallybad/destructive, if influenced by environment.

However, the good news is that vice-versa is also then possible, viz, the destructive elements in society can also be turned constructive, under strong positive influence. Hence, forgiving, loving and reforming such people on a continuous basis, will create a very strong social fabric globally.

One such example of such reformations which comes to mind is that of Sage Valmiki, who was supposed to be a thief earlier.
